Chapter 500: True Face
There were no obstacles inside this cave, not even normal stalactites, only the dead silence of darkness.
Zhang Mu had a hunch that this was the spatial passage to another realm.
It seemed still on the surface, but his location was constantly changing.
It was an inexplicable feeling, as if he was familiar with the power of space.
A faint light illuminated Zhang Mu’s field of vision ahead.
Just in case, Zhang Mu cast an illusion spell on himself, covering himself with an illusion.
The essence of illusion magic is to target someone, and any creature seeing Zhang Mu now will automatically fall under its spell.
That’s the frightening aspect of fourth-rank illusion magic.
The sudden bright light made Zhang Mu feel a bit uncomfortable, and he quickly estimated the time he had spent using it.
Three minutes!
This means that apart from the three minutes he was absent, he had another twenty minutes of detection time.
If this is indeed the headquarters of alien creatures, he could report this information, reveal his fourth-rank power at the right moment, and easily achieve his goal.
Zhang Mu’s imagination was different from reality. He thought the place where these alien creatures lived might be like a hellish existence, but it was actually quite the opposite.
The bright sunlight, unfamiliar birds, and serene beauty were before him.
Zhang Mu never expected the place he arrived at to look like this, but he couldn’t dwell on it now. He had to immediately find the gathering place of the alien creatures, estimate their numbers and strength.
Zhang Mu looked up at the sun here and started running.
No, the “sun” above his head is not a sphere, it looks like a blooming flower.
It must not be the sun, but the star of this planet. It turns out that alien creatures also come from an independent planet.
Zhang Mu had a deeper understanding of Era Battlefield. He felt a passing thought, but he missed it and didn’t grasp it, but he knew that the sudden thought was very important.
Why can’t he remember?
Time was running out. Zhang Mu sprinted along the footprints on the ground at full speed, silently calculating the time needed to return. He had to leave enough time to go back.
Fortunately, he was still lucky.
Not far away, he ran into a cluster of buildings that seemed to be the residence of alien creatures. It looked like it was built with rough stones, like a primitive society.
Zhang Mu’s eyes lit up, there was still enough time!
And he saw strange creatures patrolling, there’s no doubt about it.
It’s hard to imagine that these exotic creatures, evolved like this, have their own civilization.
Zhang Mu felt he was about to remember something he had forgotten.
He wondered if there were beings here stronger than those in their fourth-rank early stage, but he thought there probably weren’t, otherwise they would have lost in the future’s Era Battlefield.
Zhang Mu gritted his teeth and squeezed through the gaps between a few guards, invisible due to the fourth-rank illusion supporting him. But time was running out.
He only had fifteen minutes left! He had only seven minutes left to explore!
When the seven minutes were up, he had to leave.
Otherwise, if he couldn’t find the way to the Era Battlefield in this exotic space, he might never get out!
Jumping continuously on the peculiarly styled buildings, Zhang Mu estimated the strength range of this exotic creature tribe. It seemed that the group of creatures that had just left were the strongest in their tribe.
In the whole primitive tribe, there were only five early fourth-rank beings and twenty peak third-rank beings left.
The power of fourth-rank illusions was very strong, so strong that even Zhang Mu’s actions did not startle the entire tribe.
Even including those who had left before, the plant tribe could easily wipe out the tribe of these strange creatures.
Inside the bodies of these strange creatures, there was a mysterious Blue Crystal, which was also located at their necks. However, if the crystal was not removed within ten minutes after the creature’s death, it would melt inside the body.
By consuming the corresponding Blue Crystal based on their strength, the user’s training speed would soar rapidly. This was a vital reason for the intense competition for these strange creatures.
At present, it seemed that the various tribes had not discovered this yet. Otherwise, they would not attack the strange creatures so carelessly.
This was one of Zhang Mu’s confident bargaining chips for speaking out. Zhang Mu wanted to inform the human race and help them grow quickly.
However, given their current situation, they were unable to even go out hunting those strange creatures. They could only inform the plant tribe first.
Currently, the most important thing was to eliminate the crisis posed by the Beastmen and zombie tribes to humans. It would be best to eradicate them. In the end, if it came down to a showdown between the plant tribe and the human race, Zhang Mu had one last ace up his sleeve that allowed him to do so.
That is the Duwang River behind him!
However, he instinctively resisted marking his soul with the imprint of the Netherworld.
Unless absolutely necessary, he would never use the mysterious Netherworld river behind him.
Zhang Mu was about to leave, with about three spare minutes. Zhang Mu was preparing to retreat, it’s always good to have some extra time on hand, just in case of any sudden events, so as not to be caught off guard.
With a simple tribal city structure, Zhang Mu felt like he had barged into the home of exotic creatures.
Zhang Mu was now on high alert, his vigilance at its peak, scanning the unfamiliar surroundings.
Nothing of value here!
This was Zhang Mu’s conclusion after scanning around, he needed to leave quickly, no time to waste here.
Suddenly, a noise came from a distance.
Zhang Mu, who was on high alert, suddenly turned around and ran in that direction.
After circling around the obstacle of the haystack, Zhang Mu was somewhat disappointed to find that the source of the commotion was just a young exotic creature.
Sitting by the river, Zhang Mu was watching the water while doodling on the ground.
Zhang Mu casually glanced at the pattern drawn by the exotic creature and was about to leave.
However, just that glance made him halt in his tracks.
The pattern was in the shape of a person!
The young exotic creature was drawing facing its reflection in the river, basically sketching itself.
Despite that, it was undeniably an extremely ugly exotic creature!
Zhang Mu walked slowly up to the back of the young exotic creature.
Indeed, it was painting itself.
Sometimes it touched its face, sometimes it looked at the drawings on the mud.
Its painting skills were very good, it had already finished this piece, and it looked very satisfied.
Looked like a human child!
It must be said that there are some different things, the child in this painting has some tattoos on his face.
A flash of light that Zhang Mu had been ignoring all the time passed by!
We always thought they were monsters created, but it was just we who thought they were monsters.
What we see may not necessarily be true!
Zhang Mu took a deep breath. To confirm his thoughts, he used magic to transform himself into the exotic creatures he had just seen at the village entrance and lifted the sensory shield on the young exotic creature.
It seemed like the young exotic creature heard a sound behind him and turned around in confusion.
But when he saw Zhang Mu’s appearance, he backed away in fear, screaming.
Zhang Mu used magic to change his memory, making him calm down, then changed his own appearance back to its original form, but with the same tattoo on his face as in the picture.
Seeing the young exotic creature looking at Zhang Mu’s face, although a bit cautious, he didn’t step back or show fear, just pointed at Zhang Mu and spoke in a language he didn’t understand.
He guessed right.
Zhang Mu, who had figured everything out, had an unpleasant expression on his face.
So these exotic creatures were also human!
